    This place suits me perfectly! With free wi-fi, a cozy bar area, and 24-hour reception, I find everything I need to relax. The staff once helped me find my lost wallet, a gesture I still appreciate. I highly recommend it!

    The views from the upper floors provide a great perspective of the surrounding area, especially during sunrise. The large formal staircase gives a nod to the hotel's past grandeur, adding that touch of elegance upon entering.

    The room felt a bit cramped with minimal storage, leaving little space for our bags. Dinner was buffet-style, which can be hit or miss—some items were overcooked or missing, particularly during busy hours, and the breakfast setup with a toaster that lacked a clean tray was less than ideal. While the bed offered comfort, the pillows could really use an upgrade, as they were overly stuffed, making them tough to manage. the place could benefit from some small updates and attention to detail in the dining service.

    perfect location
    musty smell
    hallway odor

    What I loved most was the stunning sea view from our room. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the beach. The only downside was the musty smell in the hallway. 😕

    stunning promenade
    helpful staff
    great location
    musty smell

    Had an awesome time with friends! We hit the beach and strolled along the stunning promenade—just 500 meters from our place. The location was super convenient, and the staff were genuinely helpful. Heads up for future guests, parking can be tricky, so plan ahead. Overall, a solid spot to enjoy the area and make great memories.

    One downside was the musty smell upon entering the hotel. That was a bit off-putting but didn’t ruin our fun overall.

    sandy beaches
    stunning promenade
    lack of activities

    Our stay was delightful, especially with the short walk to the beautiful sandy beaches just 500 meters away. The stunning promenade offered breathtaking views while we explored the local shops and eateries. The staff was attentive, making our time memorable.

    My kids wished for more family-friendly activities. It would be great to have a kids’ club or something to keep them entertained on-site.

    indoor pool
    seafront location

    stayed at the royal for 2 nights and loved the recreational amenities like the health club and indoor pool. the location was a sweet 10-minute walk to the seafront, making it super convenient. the breakfast buffet was decent, and the grandeur of the hotel really added charm to our stay.

    would recommend.

    musty smell

    I enjoyed my stay at Royal, especially the fine Victorian lobby and its charming atmosphere. The sea view from my room, while slightly obstructed, added a lovely touch. A musty smell was present, which could be improved.

    impressive entrance
    satisfying buffet
    poor evening dining
    inconsistent service
    cumbersome navigation

    The entrance and reception areas left a strong impression, while the buffet breakfast offered a satisfying variety, including delicious soup. the evening dining experience fell short, with food quality needing significant improvement. the inconsistency of the reception staff ranged from helpful to borderline rude, detracting from an otherwise enjoyable stay. Finally, navigating to the room was cumbersome due to long corridors and an out-of-order lift.
